But perhaps worse was that in the most collapsed form, the CGE Pro tripod needed it’s legs extended well over 18 inches just to fit into the bars. They rumble horribly on my aggregate driveway even though I see there are pneumatic wheels also available. I am pretty sure I must have ordered the wrong bars: The wheels on these bars are very small (and hard plastic). I was surprised how much faster I felt my “setup” time was just because I wasn’t making as many trips back and forth.Īll was not flawless, however. Think of it as mobilizing your tripod! And having officially used them now last night, I can tell you they are a must have for the CGE Pro if you aren’t planning to permanently place the mount on a pier! With the my other two scopes, I generally pick them up in pieces and reassemble them where I’d like them to be – but now I can just roll my scope in and out of the garage. JMI Wheeley bars are nothing more than a platform with wheels on it that a tripod sits on top of.

Luckily, there is a solution for “local portability” in the form of JMI Wheeley bars. Unpacking and Assembling the JMI Wheeley Bars There are a lot of places that look save until something rotates about. One word of caution to CGE Pro dreamers: I have smashed fingers on this mount a few times and it is unpleasant. Or, if you prefer, the mount is transportable, but I don’t know I would call it portable. While heavy, the mount head does come apart into two separate pieces to make it easier to transport. The Celestron solution is the use “All Star Polar Alignment”, about which more later. Unlike the CGEM however, there is no polar alignment scope option, which I was originally concerned would make alignment challenging. Another benefit is that since I have already the CGEM and CPC 1100, The handset controls are already familiar to me. This will allow me some flexibility for a larger OTA in the future (I hear the AT12RC and AT16RC aren’t too far away, maybe as soon as January 2011!), and also will provide fantastic mount tracking (it’s rated at 9 arc sec from the factory, and can be reduced further with periodic error correction, or PEC).
